Version1.0 of Gram, an "opinionated fork of the Zed code editor",has been released. Gram removes telemetry, AI features, collaborationfeatures, and more. It adds built-in documentation, support foradditional languages, and tab-completion features similar to the Supertabplugin for Vim. The mission statement forthe project explains:

At first, I tried to build some other efforts I found online tomake Zed work without the AI features just so I could check it out,but didn't manage to get them to work. At some point, the curiosityturned into spite. I became determined to not only get the editor torun without all of the misfeatures, but to make it a full-blown forkof the project. Independent of corporate control, in the spirit of Vimand the late Bram Moolenaar who could have added subscription fees andabusive license agreements had he so wanted, but instead gave his workas a gift to the world and asked only for donations to a good causeclose to his heart in return.

This is the result. Feel free to build it and see if it works foryou. There is no license agreement or subscription beyond the opensource license of the code (GPLv3). It is yours now, to do with as youplease.

According to a blogpost on the site, the plan for the editor is to diverge from Zedand proceed slowly.
